Kitchen Tip: Water to Thaw Meat

Thawing meat with the use of water is a very common practice. It is almost always the default. But the thing about thawing meat with water is that it lessens the meat's flavor. If you should at all thaw meat, do it via the microwave. Better yet, if you are using the meat for lunch, get it off the freezer and have it sit on the common fridge to thaw overnight.
